How many veg items will I get?
Each week it will vary, but generally between 7 and 10 items. It may be more or less depending on their value. Tomatoes, for example, are 4 times the value of Potatoes. We balance the bag contents so you won't just end up with two very expensive vegetables and nothing to make a meal with.
Can I skip a week when I'm away?
Growing vegetables is a long-term commitment, and we plan months ahead—sowing seeds, nurturing plants, and ensuring a steady harvest for you. In return, we ask for the same commitment from our members, which means we’re unable to pause or skip weeks. If you’re away for a week, we’d love for you to share the goodness! You’re more than welcome to have a friend or family member collect your veg bag. It’s a great way to reduce waste while giving someone you care about the chance to enjoy fresh, locally grown organic produce.
How should I store my vegetables?
Most vegetables belong in the fridge, ideally in the bottom drawer. To keep leaves like lettuce and chard, and things like cucumbers fresh, store them in a sealed container or bag. Cucumbers prefer a slightly warmer spot, so keep them near the front rather than at the back. Carrot and beetroot leaves are delicious and edible! But it’s best to remove them before storing to keep the carrots fresher. Use the leaves in pesto, salads, or as a garnish. Not everything loves the cold—tomatoes taste best at room temperature, while potatoes, onions, and squash prefer a cool, dark cupboard. A little extra care keeps your veg fresher for longer!
What vegetables will I get?
When you sign up, you’ll be added to our mailing list and receive a weekly email with the contents of your upcoming veg box, helping you plan meals with the best seasonal produce. While we do our best to deliver exactly what’s listed, there may be occasional substitutions.
Are all the vegetables local and organic?
Your veg box will always be organic. Around 95% of the produce comes from our farm in St Brides Major, with the occasional top-up from a Wales-based wholesaler for crops that aren’t practical to grow on a small scale—like potatoes and swede.
